I am not a parent, but I get the argument that it promotes "unhealthy body images" HOWEVER, these figures are only for the dream sequence of the animated short, Minnie will be completely as we know her ( with her designer dress in tow ) at the end of the short. This is just a dream sequence image!

Hmmm..... I really don't like it! Apart from the fact that they're messing with something really classic, I think they're going to end up feeding more messages into women that tells them that sickly skinny is what's IN and pretty. Heaven knows we're already bombarded by marketed messages and images of real women who are very thin, and that it's causing loads of self-esteem issues for women (especially young girls.) Now they are going to add fuel to the fire and take a cartoon character (who is known for her timeless beauty and classiness) and turn her into their ideal form of beautiful. Minnie is a cartoon character that young girls now see as beautiful but apparently they're going to be told that she's not skinny enough either. Nooo! I'm not for it.
It kind of reminds me of that movie The Stepford Wives where they got sucked into the club and the wives were turned into robots (something like that....) Minnie is great how she is! I don't think she needs to be skinnied down to what Barney's thinks is beautiful. - jalensmommy

Totally agree! You always hear that girls should love their bodies no matter what shape or size but I have yet to see some sort of effort from the media. - kss4tink 218.0 #1664 10:48PM
